I have created a contract in Word. I would like to include in one of the Exhibits a form of contract template that is to be used for all subsequent contracts that are subject to the main document.
The template has already been created and I have it saved as a PDF. I went to Insert/Object/Create From File, browsed to the saved PDF, and inserted it. But when it shows up in the document, only the first page appears. The template is 14 pages long and I want each page to appear, with each page of the PDF showing up on a separate page of the exhibit.
I know it’s possible, I just don’t know how to do it. Any help?
I don’t think it’s possible to show mutiple pages of a pdf in Word by using the insert function. Basically you’re just embedding the file, so when you click on the one page showing, the whole pdf should open up in Acrobat.
If you have Acrobat (instead of just Reader), you can use File>Export>Image to convert the pdf to jpg (or whatever). This will make a separate jpg of each page which you’ll have to insert a page at a time. You can also use Document>Extract Pages and make a separate pdf of each page (which you will also have to place in one by one).
If you have a Print to pdf option when you select Print, you can also extract the pages by printing each page to a separate pdf.
I’m not a Word “genius”, so hopefully one might come along and have a better solution!
Good luck.
Oh yeah, it might help people to know what version of Word you’re using.
Thanks. I was hoping to avoid adding each PDF page one at a time, but I guess I could do it that way. Also, you’re right- versions would have helped. I’m using Windows XP, Word 2007, and I have Adobe Acrobat Professional.
I could just embed the PDF file so that it opens on a double-click, either as an image or as an icon, but I wanted the full PDF to appear in the printed document so the main document’s footers would appear at the bottom of each page of the exhibit.
Like I said, someone might have a better solution, but if it’s only one document, adding each individual page should only take a few minutes. Actually, if you break it up, you can just drag and drop the files onto your Word doc.
Just use the Document>Extract Pages function and select the **Extract Pages as Separate Files **option. Then, just drag and drop the files onto the proper location in your Word doc. I’ll bet you can do it in under 5 minutes!
Yeah, but this is the computer age, man. Five minutes is an eternity. I should be able to just think it and have it done.
A 14-page contract???
That’s way longer than the Constitution of the US, which has managed to run our country for about 200 years now!
Must be some legal thing – where they call a hundred pages a ‘brief’!
It’s six pages of substance, two signature pages (for execution by counterpart), two notary pages, and four pages of exhibits.
Oh, you’ll need Word 2050 with the bio-edit option for that.
